But I ain't running the car with half a tank. I'll get too pissed when WE do fuel stave.

Btw, if you guys are still compelled to argue please do it somewhere else. I still plan on tooling my car for STR.... For the time being. Just messing around with other stuff as well.

This is my first year in ASP, but I'm playing catch up when it comes to my setup. So far though I'm 2nd in class just under a EVO 10 which he's averaging 1.5 seconds faster then me.
My setup is on hold while I finish buying more chassis setup equipment. I have scales, and received on Friday my Longacre tow plates, and digital camber/caster gauge with the quick set adapter.

I'm envious of that tire setup. Right now I'm running 17x9 +15 275/40 and Rear 17x10 +12 295/40 w/ Kumho V710, which isn't the best or the brightest setup but it came with the car. I'm looking to go 18x10 to 18x10.5 all the way around and run 295 or 305 all the way around.

As for co-driving, I'll be heading up there regardless if I'm racing, or not. I don't think I'll be very competive at a National tour, but either way you could drive it as a co-driver, or as a solo. A national tour race might not be the best place to really get some fuel starvation testing done, but I'm game just the same.

Woah. Do you mean 19x9 and 19x10? If you got 17's to fit.. What ones are those?

I'm in the same boat. I'm second in ASP in the club I run with. A 06 sti running 23 lbs of boost is about 1 sec faster than me but his driving is inconcistant and he slides around a lot. I just need wider wheels and more meat all around and I would smoke him. But I need to save up alittle more. Def next year I'm going to have new wheels.

In your journal you mentioned SPL rear camber arms. SCCA would have you in SSM.

And that's why I don't like SCCA autocross classing.

That's why, IMHO, the way that NASA does classing is better. Each mod equals a certain point value. Add those together and you determine the class you'd be in.
